The Story of History
The Story of History  

Beyond those beaten days’ depleted daylight
Beyond the bathos of a pandemic bondage
With  the resurrected  sashay’s charmed night
Down in the dumps   at the pretentious  proscenium

America's Lament
Slipping gently towards entropy,
Ownership with an apostrophe.
Braid the loose frays of sanity
Till something true finally answers me.

Troops are marching over many lands,
Tagged cornflower blue--a worldwide brand.
Don't speak out or you will be banned,
Towers implode just...

First and foremost is you 
Yes you, all parts of you and gratitude as your plus one for a better attitude, as you well know 
Better tag on hard to that grounding of yours,
Solid footing...

When you're living under a cloud
Find the joy, find the joy
When you're hurt and want to cry
Find the joy, find the joy

When you want to scream out loud
Find the joy, find...

The Hermit
Hidden within the deep recesses of the dark green forest.
Hidden from the world, cocooned within the tall green grass.
Hidden in the yellow summer sun amongst the moss.
Hidden from humanity.

Immersed deep within the sea of my...

A Right To Live
A right to free movement

A right to live

Where we want

Should be our perogative

We should not feel that we can not roam

Or decide to set down new roots

Or to find a new home.

Borders are a man...

Premium Member Threads of Wispy Air
On threads of wispy air,
in breathy undertones of political wind,
I can hear the quiet catastrophe,
the quiet ruination of our commonwealth.
I can hear the sleepy madness, turned avalanche
between my ears. 

I can hear the quiet catastrophe,

Voice Outside Alone
There is stupid in your tone...
your voice outside alone...

...For your words speak without
experience...

...Your stupid lacks great depth...

...The wise understand with little 
surprise...

...You encounter conversation...
your eyes meet with no conviction...
self demise...

...We know what and how you...

Spirituality Is Unique
Asked about the thoughts on the spiritual

I said I can’t tell you it’s individual,

Self determination and self rule

Are the key aspects to being spiritual,

Finding your own way seeing what fits

Remembering to question everything,

Open up the...

Premium Member Earth Life, a Hard School
Earth life, a hard school, dark desire cesspool,
Senses externalised, all objects sized,
No wonder then, we behave like a fool,
Truth dawns, when by Holy Spirit baptised.

Ego controls thoughts, so we’re ill-advised,
Body hormones rule, our instincts cruel,
Bemused...

Premium Member Love, the Hard Conqueror
These darts of love fly from our eyes
Adrip with passion's poisons clear and sweet,
Our aim that of another heart's defeat,
Its mute enslavement to our sighs.

Love blasts holes of unexpected size
In our defense; no wall will...

The Fallen But Not Forgotten
THE FALLEN
   BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Once there was an explicit country, 
Full of world's complimentary
So called "INDIA"
Soon came a gloom, 
Bloomy was rule of britishers, 
Theonomous world of cruelty, 
As a beast of burden,...

Irelands capital Dublin, it's a beautiful city
Famous for its Guinness and Jameson's whiskey
The Temple bar area for music and the 'craic'
Many say on departing "one day I'll be back".

Molly Malone can be seen, with her...

Cosmic Vibes and Self-Love Jives

Amid cosmic whispers, stars sync up tight,
Universe unfolds, a colossal setup, alright.
Galaxies kick back, in a groove so cool,
Like the cosmos saying, "Yo, embrace self-rule!"

In the cosmic quiet, a self-hug takes...

then you don't watch to see if they obey~~

"Stop now. Do chores and homework before you play

Independence

In search of freedom, many braved the high seas, 
Needing to flee the chains of their home countries.
Desiring a fresh start in a far-off land;
Educating their children to understand.
Plymouth, Jamestown, Hampton, and other such sites;
Enduring...
